Always Something Going On In Philly

from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,
If you put the daily turmoil of the Philadelphia Flyers into the Toronto media market, there might be no resources available to cover other teams in town.
But the Flyers not only make headlines, they win a few games, sitting 6-4-1 heading into tonight’s game after an eventful month:
* A flap about a clique of Flyers who allegedly lived the high life off the ice caused captain Mike Richards to try and organize a media boycott.
* There’s another team medical controversy, this one regarding Simon Gagne’s groin. The Flyers’ doctors have advised him there are two small hernias that need surgery, but Gagne went home to Quebec for a second opinion and found two surgeons who disputed the Philly staff’s recommendation.
Gagne is now scheduled to visit an abdominal specialist today at nearby Hahnemann University Hospital for a final opinion.
“He’ll see Dr. (William) Meyers and we’ll put an end to this,” a frustrated general manager Paul Holmgren told reporters on the weekend.
